Bungie and Thorn. A marriage ending in divorce, remarried, divorced again, shacks back up, stays single, gets abusive (ghost bullets), goes to counseling, move back in together, and finally decides to just sleep together every once in a while because they really don’t like each other and they are just horney.

Bungie nerfed red death before the hand cannon buff forever ago and to this day I’m still upset and angry about that because red death was my first exotic and it actually performed stupidly well in good hands before it got nerfed and successfully challenged thorn effectively which gave it a dynamic no other weapons had in pvp. I don’t care what anybody’s argument is, this isn’t about me hating thorn(I don’t hate thorn) despite the sound of it bringing some fear but rather the fact that bungie foolishly ruined a weapon that already had rigid stats that served a vital purpose effectively in skillful hands in pvp and red death even did well in pve during Crota’s end when we couldn’t recover our health unless we had red death or infusion as a perk(I actually had both in my first run hilariously and did well supporting my teammates when they died), I got rewarded no land beyond for the next 3 end of crota runs in a row and everybody laughed every single time. I just feel so bad about red death considering it was potentially top tier forever ago because it’s niche was just so important and it was undeniably powerful in the right hands for pvp.

This brings so much nostalgia flooding back it’s insane. I remember quite vividly watching my lifelong friend’s older bro playing with his mates in the Xyor, the Unwed portion of the Thorn quest for half an hour trying to do Phogoth correctly. My friend and I were so mesmerized by it, that when he got it, we all felt a sense of accomplishment. Thorn is most assuredly up there in the list of the most influential weapons in Destiny. (Side note, I remember the first time my friend showed me the Patience and Time sniper rifle, and me thinking it was the coolest shit. When he mentioned another exotic sniper called Icebreaker, I thought it couldn’t be as good as Patience and Time. Holy shit was I wrong XD)

Man, getting this back in the day was a chore and a half, mostly because I suck at PvP lmao But when I finally got it that dopamine rush was absolute bliss lmao I finally had a fighting chance in Crucible as pretty much a strictly PvE player. When it got nerfed it hurt my heart because it was like a month after I got it. I’m back to it being my primary in D2 with Necrotic Grip. Well, that Malfeasance, or The Forward Path. But Always Necrotic Grip now, used to use Transersive Steps, but who need ammo when you’re punching trash mobs in the face and decimating them with corruption? Lol at the point, Thorn is mostly to proc the effect from a distance or prime enemies as I haul ass towards them lol

It's funny, we went from giving Hand cannons ludicrous range, then Bungie makes a statement about how Hand cannons are medium range weapons and stays *fairly* true to their own philosophy, and then they go and make 120s cross-mappers years later... I don't think there is any way one can look at the balance changes over the course of Destiny and not be utterly confused.

The one thing that would make Thorn go up in usage is if Bungie finally releases the catalyst along with some other catalysts for other exotics. That range and stability boost is almost needed for the weapon cause for some reason the recoil on Thorn in particular is weird cause the weapon bounces both upward and to the left. It's not noticeable on PC but on console it's the first i notice when firing it. And given how recoil and bloom work on console it's the reason why i barely use Thorn.
